Just noticed a crack on my chain stay, not circumferential, but not far off it. I don't know of any bike builders/welders in central scotland, but I have a small engineering workshop nearby who do all sorts of stuff. Does anyone have any experience of this?.

Cheers.

Commutings a wee bit gentler than offroad though, no disrespect.
